Feels like an honorable site would make the uploader aware of this and offer a checkbox or something to do it for you.

Every site that allows image upload in existence now strips this data by default, but they do it on their server so they can get it first.

I mean, I’d probably do it server-side even if I were to have nefarious intent and want the data for myself anyway, since image processing client-side isn’t necessarily a good use of your users devices, really.

You can strip exit data in less than 1ms on a phone processor in 90 lines of js btw github.com/Coteh/exifremove/blob/…/exifremove.js
You’re delusional if you think FAANGs don’t harvest the shit out of every single but of data they can get on you, including exif.

Calling deleting metadata image processing is a bit of a stretch. And you can disingenuously clean images either client- or server-side, that’s true, but if we’re getting serious here about data privacy, one could independently validate, build, and sign an executable for users to run locally. I don’t know of any similar technique to guarantee what’s running server-side.
